There’s also a restaurant and bar on-site. In the restaurant, you can enjoy a dinner menu for $25, which includes an appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert. Breakfast is served in the restaurant as well, with a wide variety of options.
Several short walking trails are available around the lodge, which can be viewed on a map at the reception. Unfortunately, since we were only here for one night, we didn’t have time to explore them.

The lodge’s friendly staff provided exceptional service, ensuring that our every need was met.
After thrilling days of safari, returning to the lodge felt like coming home. The evenings were spent enjoying delicious meals served as a buffet, while taking in the breathtaking sunset over the park.

ThornTree Camp in Serengeti National Park
During our stay at ThornTree Camp in Serengeti National Park, we experienced a truly unique camping adventure. Our tent was equipped with private amenities, nestled right in the heart of the savanna. Just within a 10-meter radius, we spotted elephants, gazelles, buffalos, and even hyenas. One night, we were awakened by the sound of buffalos grazing right against our tent!
The dining experience was delightful, with dinner served buffet-style, and breakfast was equally satisfying. Since we spent the entire day on a game drive, the camp thoughtfully prepared packed lunches for us to enjoy.
The staff at ThornTree Camp were exceptionally friendly, always accompanying us to and from our tent while keeping an eye out for wildlife. This place is a must-visit for anyone seeking adventure in the heart of nature!
